Let’s break this down as it appears to be nonsensical. 

When I call home # xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

from my cell xxxxxxxxxxxxcc

YOUR HOME NUMBER SHOULD SHOW YOUR CALLER NUMBER ONLY FROM PM

the caller id showing for the house phone show cafe le bistro which is incorrect

THIS PART MAKES NO SENSE, PLEASE CLARIFY. .

It should state my name.

Is your home phone from a wired Telco or VoIP?

Most phones pick up the NAME  from a contact list keyed in by YOU 

AM I MISSING SOMETHING?

Check your contact list on mobile phone and home phone. Phone number vs name. 

You may have the wrong name against the phone number.

@dasoyuf  That has nothing to do with Public Mobile. Whatever name lookup database your phone users is outdated. Best too add your number as part of your home phone's contacts to see if it resolves there problem.

Did you activate with a new number? Maybe this is who the number belonged to previously. Google it and see what it says.

It will not state your name. Public Mobile only transmits your number. The recipient would only see your name if they have your number as a contact.
